Released: 2019
Directed by: M. Night Shyamalan
Cast: Samual L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, James McAvoy, Sarah Paulson
The final installment of the Eastrail 177 Trilogy. We meet Mr. Glass, David Dunn, and the Horde once more, all together. But is it just a coincidence that they’re under the same roof? We last left David Dunn in Unbreakable after besting Elijah Price after the terror he was the mastermind behind. Continuing, we meet Kevin Wendell Crumb. Or at least the other identities of his DID diagnosis. At last, we get to Mr. Glass’s story. All rounded up to be convinced they’re not superhumans and it’s all a mere figment of their delusion, the trio are immersed in a world they never asked for. Elijah Price is catatonic so his mastermind skills are fuzzy. Or are they? Will the woman win in her fight to convince them or is she a pawn in Mr. Glass’s world? And what exactly is Kevin’s significance with Mr. Glass?
Bravo Mr. Shyamalan for creating a film so intellectually satisfying. Glass takes you on a trip through hell and back and with the phenomenal acting of the cast, I tip my hat. After so many terrible reviews I can understand why certain people would say it was bad. However, they lack the mere satisfaction of the ultimate win. Hero and villain collide in this mastermind of a film. Watching this I was heartbroken, however, I understand the route Shyamalan took and I am forever grateful. Though it’s not how I would have ended it, it was still satisfying and to go any further would take away from the message left in the end.
Seeing Bruce work with Spencer (playing David’s son) was so great. I love when they’re able to get former actors to reprise their original roles along with Elijah’s mother. (Yes the same woman from Unbreakable). I would recommend this any who have followed the other films and kept an open mind. That’s the important thing.
Shyamalan continues to be one of my all-time favorite creators.
9/10 stars.
